Not long after, the eunuch stopped in his tracks. Su Jinruo raised his head and saw three large words written in the imperial study.

The eunuch said respectfully to Su Jinruo, "Eunuch Fu and this servant have said that City Lord Su does not need to be informed to enter. City Lord Su, please enter."

Su Jinruo lifted his feet and walked into the imperial study.

In the royal study, Old Emperor and Princess Xiwei were having a conversation. On the table, there was a report.

From the looks of it, it seemed like Old Emperor was in the royal study reading a memorial while he was pestering Old Emperor to not allow him to continue reading.

Su Jinruo squinted, Old Emperor's love for Princess Xiwei had actually reached this stage …

Just as Su Jinruo was about to bow and greet her, Old Emperor looked at her and said indifferently: "Su Ai Hui, there is no need to be so courteous."

Su Jinruo responded as she stood up. Princess Xiwei stood up from Old Emperor's side as she stepped on her high-soled flagshoes. Her peach red lips had a charming smile on it as she walked towards Su Jinruo, step by step.

She walked around Su Jinruo as if she was sizing him up. Then, she stood beside Su Jinruo and pouted, "Royal Father … Look at you, the City Lord Su has already been here for a while, and you still aren't giving anyone a seat, do you want to make them tired? "

Old Emperor seemed to enjoy the tune that only belonged to his little girl. He laughed out loud and pointed at Princess Xiwei, his index finger waving up and down, showing a helpless expression with an endless doting look.

"You, ah, you were clearly the one who went up to us, and we thought you wanted to do something, that's why we didn't show Su Aiqing our seats. Now that's good, instead, you're blaming the Royal Father …"

Su Jinruo lowered her eyes. Princess Xiwei had a handkerchief in her hand, and her head was lowered.

The Old Emperor looked at Su Jinruo. Eunuch Fu had already moved a chair for him, but Su Jinruo did not sit down, instead he smiled and said: "Su Aiqing, look at my princess. What do you think?"

If it was said that she did not know how to explain the bashful look that Princess Xiwei had, then Su Jinruo had finally seen through her question.

Finally …

Still couldn't escape …

Su Jinruo cupped his hands and said: "The Princess Xiwei is extremely beautiful and magnificent. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, paintings, and so she is naturally a rare talented woman."

In truth, the Princess Xiwei was truly talented.

As the biological sister of Crown Prince Shen Yuan and the favorite princess of the Emperor, her education and that of the other princesses were naturally incomparable.

It was a fact that she was good at poetry, good at music, calligraphy and painting, and good at everything.

But...

She was unruly and willful, domineering and domineering. If she was not satisfied, it was possible for her to pull her servant girl out and beat them a few dozen times. She did not pity others in the slightest.

The corner of Princess Xiwei's mouth twitched, and he enjoyed Su Jinruo's praise. Old Emperor's eyes flickered, and he laughed lightly:

"That's right, our princess is naturally an excellent one. It's a pity that women are not allowed to grow up. In the blink of an eye, our little girl has already reached the age to marry …"

When Princess Xiwei heard this, he immediately stepped on his high-soled flagshoes and returned to Old Emperor's side. He held Old Emperor's arm and shook it, "How can Royal Father say that, even if I am to be married off, I will frequently return to the palace to visit you."

Old Emperor poked Princess Xiwei on the forehead and patted the back of her hand that was as smooth as jade. She turned her eyes and said to Su Jinruo: "The reason you are summoning Su Aiqing to the palace this time, is because we have good news to tell her."

Su Jinruo's eyes did not change as he stood there quietly, waiting for Old Emperor's next words.

"In another month's time, Brightmoon will reach her prime. Although it is still too early to tell Su Aiqing about this matter, but …" Even if it was Brightmoon who proposed it, she truly liked it. And hearing Su Aoyin's evaluation of Mingyue, it was mostly praise as well. I believe Su Aoyin also has a good impression of my princess, so I might as well be the contact person so that you two can have a lover and marry each other. From then on, Su Aiqing is now the prince consort. She is my proud son-in-law, isn't this good news? "

Old Emperor was overjoyed as her face reddened. She did not dare look at Su Jinruo again.

Su Jinruo kneeled on the ground, she looked at Old Emperor, and said: "This humble subject thanks Emperor for the love, thanks Princess for the love, but I am afraid that this humble subject does not have the fortune to bear the good news, I hope that Emperor can take back my orders, this humble subject absolutely cannot marry Princess Xiwei."

"What?!" Princess Xiwei suddenly turned her head, the golden hairpin and phoenix tail tassel that had been pinned on her bun started to ring with bells. She had never thought that Su Jinruo would actually refuse her!

Heh … What a joke!

She was a princess, yet she dared to ask her Royal Father to marry, even though she had already let down her dignity, Su Jinruo still dared to refuse?!

Seeing Su Jinruo rejected in front of him without showing any mercy, Old Emperor's old face darkened, "Why? Could it be that our princess is not worthy of Su Aiqing?!"

The Son of Heaven looked displeased.

Su Jinruo lowered his eyes, weighed the pros and cons, and replied: "Reporting to Emperor, it is not that Princess Xiwei is unworthy of this humble subject, it is just that this humble subject is not worthy for the princess. Since ancient times, the princess has never married a court official below the third stage. This humble subject's status is low, if Emperor were to grant the princess to this humble official, it would be dishonorable for the princess. "

Hearing Su Jinruo's words, the Old Emperor's expression became much gentler, and said: "Su Aiqing is too humble, she is clever and resourceful, she is brave and resourceful, and just entered the imperial palace, and she is already a fifth stage minister, in the future, work hard, and a position of third stage or higher, Su Aiqing can easily obtain. "Moreover, I've seen that Su Aiqing and Mingyue are extremely compatible, and Mingyue, that girl, is also infatuated with Su Aiqing. She doesn't mind marrying you, so why would Su Aiqing be afraid of not being compatible?"

Su Jinruo glanced at Princess Xiwei. She had only met him twice.

The first time was during the shooting-range, the second was during the palace banquet, and they had met twice. Basically, her condition wasn't too good, so Su Jinruo didn't believe that the princess in front of him would fall for her.

But listening to Old Emperor's tone, it was this princess who had asked for this marriage. Princess Xiwei's attitude towards her at that palace banquet was still neither cold nor hot, but ten days had passed and the princess had already fallen for her …

This... Too... Unbelievable!

Su Jinruo tensed up, and spoke to Old Emperor: "Reporting to Emperor, regarding the matter of marrying the Princess as my wife, I am unable to comply. I hope that Emperor can retract my order, and I thank Emperor."

Princess Xiwei's face was extremely ugly, Su Jinruo repeatedly rejected this marriage matter, it was simply slapping her in the face.

She pointed at Su Jinruo and questioned: "What's wrong with me, to be willing to marry you, is already a great fortune for you, you actually dared to reject me again and again, I ask you, what right do you have to refuse?!"

Please calm your anger princess, the princess is very good, but this humble subject cannot marry the princess. If this humble subject marries the princess as a wife, the princess will not be able to live a happy life, and if the princess suffers from any grievances, this humble subject will owe you a great debt.

"I can't bear to hurt even a little bit of her. Since Su Aiqing said that she can't marry Little Moon, then she should at least give me a reason, and if she can't give us a reason, then she will turn her back on my son. I will immediately drag you out to cut you down to vent the grievances in Little Moon's heart!"

"Royal Father …" Princess Xiwei's eyes turned red, and looked at Old Emperor pitifully.

It meant that he was too young and his eldest brother wasn't married, so it was even more inappropriate for him to take a wife …

Or could it be that because he had suffered a trauma a year ago, he would never dare to touch her in his life …

Or … Just say that he is a good man...

"Bang …" Before Su Jinruo could finish thinking about it, Old Emperor was already furious. He angrily slapped the book table, causing Su Jinruo's head to droop even lower.

"Reporting to Emperor, the reason why this humble subject has rejected in every way, and refused to marry Princess Xiwei, is because this humble subject is ill …"

The corner of Princess Xiwei's mouth stiffened, his gaze landed on Su Jinruo's head which was lying on the ground, "Bullshit, Su Aiqing looks healthy and healthy, where did this sickness come from?! Are you making up an excuse to fool around and make us punish you?! "

Su Jinruo said: "Emperor, please listen to this humble subject's explanation. "A year ago, this humble subject was hunted down and robbed by bandits and was known to the world. At that time, I was just a cripple, unable to defeat or escape, only because my personal jade pendant was stolen did I dare to retaliate." But at that time, a chivalrous hero saved this humble official, allowing him to preserve his life and return to the capital.

After returning to the capital, this humble subject vows to work hard, to read and write every day, and finally to rush to the top scholar's name and become an official of the imperial court. But the problem came. This humble subject had a servant girl by his side, and was extremely beautiful, but this humble subject did not have any thoughts about her. At the beginning, this humble subject thought that I was busy studying, so it was normal that I was not interested.

When this humble subject met the gentle and refined Ninth Prince, he was unable to forget the smile on his face. Only then did he realize that this humble subject had already changed him long ago. The ancients have said that this humble subject does not want to marry the Princess Xiwei because it is appropriate to do so. This humble subject truly does not wish to harm the Princess.

Hearing this, Princess Xiwei's face twisted as if she had eaten something disgusting. She pointed at Su Jinruo, unable to say a single word.

"You … You... You have the habit of breaking your own sleeve?! "And the one you like is Nine?"

He originally thought that the one with broken sleeves would be her overweeningly arrogant Seventh Brother.

Who would have thought that the person kneeling on the ground in front of them was actually a person who had left, a person who had brought the wind down …

In the shooting-range, Seventh Brother and Su Jinruo's posture was extremely awkward, so she had been thinking whether or not Seventh Brother would be interested in him.

It wasn't until the palace banquet when Shen Hancheng attended for Su Jinruo and allowed him to sit by his side that Princess Xiwei felt that Shen Hancheng's attitude towards Su Jinruo was extraordinary …

Princess Xiwei had always wanted to expel Shen Hancheng from the palace, not only for herself, but also for her brother, the crown prince. The Old Emperor had a good impression of her, but the Old Emperor favored Shen Hancheng more. Dirty …

Although the disciples of the Imperial Family were extravagant in their extravagance, in terms of speech and behavior, they had many restrictions.

The people of the royal family couldn't have any sort of unruly and unruly atmosphere, or else, after getting rid of the ancestors of the royal family, they would be chased out of the palace.

Therefore, she wanted to use her identity as a princess to propose marriage and marry Su Jinruo to see how he would react before making any plans.

However, Princess Xiwei knew that this matter would not end well.
